Sarkozy Demands You Don’t Do That Voodoo That You Do

A French appeals court has ruled that voodoo dolls of the country’s president, Nicolas Sarkozy, may remain on sale despite Sarkozy demanding a ban — but the doll must now carry a label saying they are offensive to him.

Which is about as effective as a Jose Cuervo bottle with a warning label stating:  “5 out of 5 Mormons do not recommend this product.”

Sarkozy’s attorney had asked that the dolls be withdrawn from sale, saying the president like any French person owns the right to his own image.  The appeals court backed an earlier ruling allowing the dolls to stay on the market in the name of freedom of expression.  But it ordered the doll’s marketer to add a warning that using the needles which come with the kits “constitutes an attack on the personal dignity of Mr. Sarkozy.”

Good to hear he has a sense of humor!  don’t share “How many French presidents does it take to change a light bulb?” joke. (Answer: One. He holds the bulb and all of Europe revolves around him.)

“Nicolas Sarkozy: The Voodoo Manual” costs $16.50, and includes a handbook and 12 pins. Meanwhile, you can get the “The George W. Bush Voodoo Kit: Stick It to Him Like He’s Been Sticking It to You!” for a relative bargain at the low, low price of $11.66.

I’d be offended by such a doll, too.  But only because of how soft and puffy it looks.  RUDE!
